Now this came just after Johns message, and I am not happy about being
approached by my private e-mail address in this manner. To my mind this is
spamming. If the persons concerned are so keen to drum up 'business' (as
they are obviously pushing rather hard) why the rider about only getting two
chances to join? Or is that just to make us think there is some urgency ? It
just makes me feel there is some ulterior motivation.
